Set against the backdrop of the magnificent peaks of the Bernese Oberland and the pearlescent lakes it sits between, Interlaken is an unbeatable location for exploring this stunning area. Interlaken is a bustling town on the banks of the river Aare, between lakes Thun and Brienz, with pavement cafés, shops and ports on both lakes. we also offer lakeside hotels in the picturesque villages of Bönigen and Iseltwald on Lake Brienz and new for 2012 Hilterfingen on Lake Thun.
Our opinion
• Very popular, bustling holiday destination • A visit to the Schynige Platte botanical gardens offers spectacular views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau • A trip up on the Jungfraujoch to the 'Land of the Eternal Snow' and the UNESCO Natural World Heritage site is a must • Take a cruise on Lake Brienz to Brienz for a traditional wood carving village or Lake Thun to Thun for an awe-inspiring medieval town

Getting about
Interlaken is the hub of the Bernese Oberland. Take a mountain railway, a bus, a train or a lake ferry to the sights, attractions and activites of this fantastic region. Get the most out of the region's excursions by purchasing a regional pass.
By rail
The train transfer from Geneva showcases the scenery of Switzerland; Lake Geneva, vineyard clad hills, alpine meadows and snow capped peaks. From Zurich the journey is shorter, it also passes through spectacular Swiss scenery. Both transfers involve a train change in Berne. If you're on a morning arrival or an evening departure, Berne is a great place for lunch.
